How to Spring Clean your Bedroom
1. Prepare your cleaning supplies and trash bags for a quick decluttering session.
It’s easier to get going when you have the needed supplies.
2. Start from top to bottom when cleaning your bedroom.
You become more organized when you plan the steps, to begin with, your cleaning. Then, you can focus on one area at a time systematically.
3. Tackle the ceiling, light fixtures, and ceiling fans.
Take care of every little angle filled with dust. A microfiber cloth with a water/cleaning agent will help remove dusty surfaces.
And while you’re at it, check if the light bulbs need changing if they haven’t been changed during your quarterly cleaning to-dos.
4. Change the air filters and clean the covers.
Springtime is another best time to switch them out. Again, the more you care for your vent system, the healthier environment will be more beneficial.
Remember, home air quality also depends on how clean your air filters are.
5. Take down all curtains and wash them.
Curtains harbor dust, and they need to be cleaned often.
6. Wipe down and clean the windows and blinds.
Blinds and window screens can easily collect dust and other allergens. Make sure you vacuum, wipe and dry the windows appropriately.
7. Dust away anything from the headboards and any flat surfaces.
Nightstands, headboards, and other flat surfaces have more dust than other furniture.
If you have a TV console and other speakers in your bedroom, you might want to check on them too.
8. Vacuum your lamps and drawers behind the side tables and under the bed.
Investing in a good, practical vacuum will streamline cleaning the house, including your bedroom.
Lamps and drawers need to be vacuumed frequently to prevent dust.
9. Remove bed linens and all sheets. Wash them.
Washing your bedroom linens and duvet will remove accumulated shedding skin, dust, etc.
10. Sprinkle baking soda on the stripped mattress. Later on, vacuum all the powder off the bed.
Next, freshen up your mattress by cleaning it properly – remove debris, etc. You can also steam and dry your entire mattress before putting back fresh linens.
Quick note: Vacuuming with baking soda – please double-check first on your vacuum manuals. If you aren’t sure, skip this step. Vacuum the mattress without baking soda.

11. Polish all fixtures and furniture.
When it comes to cleaning, you not only remove the dust and gunks – it’s good to polish fixtures and furniture to prolong their life.
12. Give your bedroom and closet doors a good wipe-down.
Use any cleaning products as appropriate because these areas can become dusty and dingy.
However, here is a quick cleaning tip: you can easily use a magic eraser with squeezed-out water to clean the doors.
13. Vacuum the bedroom floor if you have carpet flooring; time for some carpet washing too.
First, clean up your bedroom floor, whether it has carpet, wood floor, or other flooring.
If you are washing the carpet, ensure it has good ventilation, so it can quickly dry.
14. Keep your cables uncluttered by securing them.
Purchase or DIY a storage system to keep your lines/cords secured in one place.
15. Assign a charging station area for all electronic devices.
To minimize clutter in the bedroom, designate a space for all electronic devices to charge.
16. Sanitize all controls, door knobs, and hardware.
Frequently touched areas need to be cleaned and sanitized regularly, not just in the springtime.
17. Clean your air purifier, cool humidifiers, and essential oil diffusers.
It’s helpful for your health to keep these devices and gadgets regularly cleaned out.
18. Sort out your clothes by season.
Store away clothes that are off-season. Stay organized by keeping the clothes you’ll wear accessible and have the off-season tucked away.
19. Donate or throw away bedroom products and clothes that are not serving you anymore.
Clutter will build up if you aren’t careful in acquiring stuff in the bedroom. Regularly purge your products to keep clutter to a minimum.
20. Organize the rest of your bedroom items and keep track of clutter spots.
Then, when bedroom cleaning is completed, it’ll be easier to organize the bedroom spaces. Remember, do not feel pressured to finish it in a single day.
We all know how good it feels to have a clutter-free and clean bedroom all year, not just in spring. So take the opportunity to freshen up your bedroom this season.
After all, it’s where you should feel truly relaxed and at ease. So, once you’re done deep cleaning your bedroom, add a vase of fresh flowers or a new throw blanket, and voila!
You’ll be surprised at how much better you sleep in a clean, tidy bedroom. So go ahead – spring clean your bedroom today!
